Chisnall fav for Players Championship

Dave Chisnall has been chalked up as the favourite for the Players Championship at Crawley which gets underway tomorrow.

Both BetVictor and sportingbet have the St Helens ace as their 10/1 jolly ahead of Justin Pipe (12/1), withe the former going 14/1 bar the two which brings in the likes of Wes Newton, Raymon van Barneveld and Simon Whitlock

Charlie McCann, spokesman for BetVictor, said: “Take the Power out and PDC Darts has never been as competitive with so many potential winners and Crawley have a stellar field for this weekend’s floor tournaments.

“In this first-to-six format it is very hard to pick a winner but we just favour Chisnall from Pipe, two outstanding players on the floor, ahead of the bigger names in the sport.”
